AmeriCorps State Justice for Montanans Project

Justice for Montanans members help empower low to moderate income Montanans to advocate for their legal rights, and increase access to justice. Established by the Montana Legal Services Association, in partnership with the Self-Help Program of the Montana Supreme Court Office of the Court Administrator, the Montana Office of Consumer Protection & Victim Services, and the State Bar of Montana the project places 18 members throughout Montana to help provide and expand intake, legal information, and referral services for Montana's low-income residents seeking legal assistance.

AmeriCorps VISTA Project

Montana Legal Services Association no longer hosts the AmeriCorps*VISTA project. The project existed for many years and helped build permanent infrastructure and capacity in non-profit organizations and communities. In cooperation with the Corporation for National and Community Service, MLSA developed VISTA projects as a way to expand MLSA's capacity to provide services to poverty-stricken Montanans.

MLSA VISTA members served in various locations throughout Montana and concentrated within one of three specific service areas: asset development, domestic violence or poverty law.
